Gear Spotlight: Chrome Knurled Welded Waterproof Rolltop Bags
Posted on March 7, 2014 by
Chrome is releasing a series of Knurled Welded Waterproof Rolltop bags this Spring (2014), perfect for bike camping, adventure biking and commuting in all types of weather. Rolltop bags are perfect for keeping the wet out, and for allowing you to compact (or expand) the bag volume to fit the contents. The Knurled Welded Rolltop series bags are designed to be as light as possible with maximum weather protection and durability, using their proprietary welding technology that combines RF welding with a mechanical interlock. Hypalon® Molle loops let you carry additional items outside the bags, and a five-bar webbing haul strap provides hand carrying ability when not mounted on the bike. If you're not convinced that these are bombproof, Chrome has a lifetime guarantee.

Compact, small capacity 18-liter Welded-Waterproof daypack with an integrated iPad® sleeve is built for urban exploration, self-supported adventure biking, and all-weather commuting. Made to be carried as a backpack or as a tote with the 5-bar webbing handles.
